A change in location, focus, allegiance or perspective can lead to a major shift in an artistís work, which can then lead to a different sound, a different public persona, a different audience. Women artists who start out as one thing end up something elseógospel singers go secular and vice versa, country goes disco, folk rock goes jazz. We invite papers that explore this sort of transition and explore its aesthetic (and other) consequences in the career of a woman artist or group.

250-word abstracts by April 30 to:
